Right, sure. Depressed people are self-centered for suffering with an illness that they didn't fucking ask to suffer with.

I have depression too, so I know what it's like. What I mean is, sometimes people with depression hurt others, and not realize it because sometimes with depression you can become wrapped up in yourself; you don't see how your own pain is hurting those around you as well.

I personally think that to be considered "self-centred" would depend on the person who is perceiving the one in the depression.

I honestly do not believe people who are depressed would be deliberately self-centred per se, they try to prevent others from being hurt for one, by keeping it all to themselves - which they tend to believe is better as less people get "hurt" in that. Consideration for others in this manner is pretty much the opposite of being self-centred.

But at the same time - in order to find a balance to work from to maybe ease the burden of the depression, wouldn't they need to be a little self-centred to help work towards that balance?
